Some high street banks allow customers to borrow more than twice as much as other mortgage lenders, according to research for The Sunday Times by Trinity Financial.
A couple with both partners earning £75,000 would be able to borrow £817,682 from Accord Mortgages, part of Yorkshire building society, compared with only £400,000 from HSBC, according to the lenders mortgage affordability calculators.
Trinity Financial told The Sunday Times: “Some of the best-buy lenders are not as generous as the banks offering slightly higher rates.
"The amount you can borrow often depends on the lender you approach and some are much more generous than others. Any debts and monthly bills will reduce the amount applicants can borrow. Childcare costs and children can drastically reduce the amount, too.â€
Platform, the specialist broker only lender owned by the Co-operative Bank, also has generous income stretches and can lend five times an applicant's income. A couple with a joint income of £150,000 could potentially borrow up to £750,000.

Excellent service from David. Available. Quick responses. Flexible. My situation wasn’t the easiest and David took the time to double check with banks their conditions prior to get me my agreement in principle. Highly recommended. Mortgage was quick and easy, I was able to focus on the conveyancing part.
